The React Native vs Flutter debate has matured. Both frameworks are stable, well-documented, and running in production at scale. The question isn't which is better in the abstract — it's which is better for your team and your project.
Pick React Native if...
Your team already writes JavaScript or TypeScript, you need deep integration with the JavaScript ecosystem, or you're building an app that will share significant logic with a web frontend. The React paradigm carries over cleanly.
Pick Flutter if...
You want pixel-perfect UI that looks identical on iOS and Android, performance is critical, or you're building a design-heavy app where the native component model feels limiting. Dart has a steeper learning curve but the Flutter ecosystem has caught up substantially.
What we use at CodeAI Labs
We use both, depending on the project. For clients with existing web teams, React Native is usually the right call. For greenfield apps where UI fidelity is paramount, Flutter wins. We've shipped production apps with both and are confident in either.
